Flowers would be the perfect surprise. However, if you’re a guy, it is preferable you ask your significant other which type of flower they prefer. The most common faux pas for giving the gift of flowers, is when the guy buys the wrong type. Each flower has a different meaning. Even color difference in the same species of flower denotes a different meaning. There are a number of online florists who will not only delivery the flowers, but will guide you on your selection to make sure you choose the right flower.
We all know the rose is the traditional symbol for love and passion, right? WRONG!
A red rose means love and passion. A white rose means humility and innocence, a yellow rose means friendship, pink roses mean gratitude and an orange rose means enthusiasm. See how confusing this can get? This is why you should ask a florist for advice before you buy.
Now, if you do decide to add a love letter to the flowers, tell her why you love her and be specific. Remember to be a gentleman and don’t refer to her body parts. Most women won’t enjoy a love note addressed to, “Heyyyyyyyyyyyy Big Boobies”. You don’t have to write a Shakespearian sonnet, just keep it simple. Remember, in this era of texting and emoticons, an actual note on paper will be impressive regardless of the content.
